TS-2800 User’s Manual Technologic Systems 05/21/09...
BIOS modifications you may require. This manual is fairly short. This is because for the most part, the TS-2800 is a standard 80386 based PC compatible computer, and there are hundreds of books about writing software for the PC platform.
4.2 Flash There is a total of 1 MB of Flash memory on the TS-2800. The top 128 KB of Flash are reserved for the BIOS and DOS-ROM. During POST, they are copied from Flash into DRAM at addresses E0000h through FFFFFh for improved performance (a standard technique known as BIOS Shadowing).
Because both serial ports are 100% PC compatible, software written for the PC that accesses serial ports directly or through standard BIOS calls will work without modification on the TS-2800. The details of the COM port internal registers are available in most PC documentation books or the data sheet for the National Semiconductor NS16C450 may be consulted.
If your project requires more than two serial ports, additional ports may be added via the PC/104 expansion bus. Technologic Systems currently offers a 2 serial / 1 parallel port card, and other manufacturers sell cards with up to four additional serial ports. Typically these would be configured as COM3 or COM4 or be assigned other non-standard I/O locations.
The DIO1 port provides +5V, GND, and 12 digital I/O lines that may 14 13 P3.2 IRQ5 / P3.3 be used to interface the TS-2800 with a wide range of external IRQ4 / P3.0 12 11 IRQ3 / P3.1 10 9...
LCD display. Please refer to your LCD data sheets for in-depth information. The TS-2800 BIOS incorporates a fairly complete set of INT10h video routines that work with the LCD. Once the LCD has been enabled (INT15h/Func B042h –...
Technologic Systems 8 A/D Converter The TS-2800 supports an optional eight channel, 12-bit A/D converter (ADC) capable of 60,000 samples per second. Each channel is independently software programmable for a variety of analog input ranges: -10V to +10V, -5V to +5V, 0V to +10V, or 0V to +5V. This allows an effective dynamic range of 14 bits.
LAN LED (labeled D3) should pulse ON briefly when any network traffic is detected. This includes all traffic, not just that sent to or from the TS-2800. Both of these LEDs are controlled by the CS8900A and do not require initialization. Additionally, the LEDs can be placed under software control, allowing the customer application use of the LEDs for feedback.
For details see the Intel 386EX User Manual. 12 LED and Jumpers The TS-2800 has three LEDs available for user software. The user LED (labeled D2) can be used for diagnostics, status messages, and simple output. This signal is also available as a digital output on the DIO2 port.
Windows 9X for your development work, the HyperTerminal accessory works well. To download a file to the TS-2800 from your host PC, execute DL.BAT at the DOS command line on the TS-2800 (while using console-redirection from within your terminal emulator) and begin the transfer with your terminal emulator.
Next, the TS-2800 must be placed in Manufacturing Mode. To do so, install jumper JP1 and power cycle the unit. Manufacturing Mode will automatically start once the POST routines have been executed. At this point, the TS-2800 will simply sit and wait for serial packets to arrive from a host.
When we are prioritizing work on these updated resources, feedback from customers (and prospective customers) is the number one influence. If you have questions, comments, or concerns about your TS-2800 Embedded PC, please let us know. Details for contacting us are listed in the front of this manual.
TS-2800 User’s Manual Technologic Systems Appendix C - JP Jumper Block Table 8 lists option jumpers 1 through 7 and their Jumper Function functions. These jumpers are clearly labeled on Manufacturing Mode the upper edge of the board (see Appendix A Console Redirection above).
E.g. If the current BIOS version is 1.25, the register will contain 19h (19h = 25 decimal). CH = Base Flash Memory Size / 512kB The TS-2800 is available with 1024kB of base Flash memory standard, but this can be increased to 2048 KB for custom orders. These woul d be returned as 02h or 04h, respectively.
TS-2800 User’s Manual Technologic Systems Int 15h / Function B010h - LED Control This function is used to turn the board LED on and off. You can also invert the LED, i.e. if the LED is off, it will be turned on, and if it is on it will be turned off.

TS-2800 User’s Manual Technologic Systems In I/O mode, register bits control the direction (input or output) of each pin and the value of each output pin. In peripheral mode, the internal peripheral controls the operation (input or output) of the pin.
TS-2800 User’s Manual Technologic Systems Note: Because the serial ports are internal to the 386EX, COM1 and COM2 can still use IRQ4 and IRQ3 even when the associated pins P3.1 and P3.0 are configured as DIO pins DIO1.11 and DIO1.12 –...
